September 4, 2023: X, previously Twitter, to gather biometric and career information.
It stated that the distinctions have yet to be implemented and will be effective September 29.
The firm’s newly updated privacy policy, which details how it collects and processes user information, now says it may store and use biometric data “for security, safety, and identification purposes.”
How X plans to utilize users’ biometric information needs to be clarified.
Platforms tend to rely on biometrics, such as fingerprints and facial scans, to authenticate people when they sign in or, in the case of a bank or payment company, when users make a transaction.
X could collect user biometric information through their photos or videos by asking that they turn on their cameras. It has yet to, however, demonstrate how the system would work.
The company says it may also collect and use data on people’s employment history and preferences to recommend jobs, potentially putting the app on course to compete with Microsoft-owned LinkedIn.
“We may gather and use your personal information (such as your employment history, academic history, employment choices, skills and abilities, job search activity and engagement, and so on) to recommend possible jobs for you, to share with potential employers when you apply for a job, to enable employers to find potential candidates, and to guide you more relevant advertising,” X said in its updated privacy policy.
Under Musk, X has sought to expand its reach beyond social media, messaging, and audio content into areas such as financial services and recruitment.
Musk is no longer the CEO of X; he handed over the role to former NBC Universal Chairman of Advertising and Partnerships Linda Yaccarino in June.

In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
